Joe Hendry made a shock appearance at WrestleMania 41but it didnt exactly end in a fairytale win.
Serving as the mystery opponent for Randy Orton, Hendry was quickly finished off, with Orton putting the TNA World Champion down in just over three minutes. To drive the point home, Orton nailed Hendry with a second RKO after the match and even mocked Hendrys signature pose, soaking in the moment at Hendrys expense.
Despite the quick loss, Hendry didnt leave empty-handed. WWE shared a post-match conversation between Hendry and Orton backstage, where Orton gave the TNA star some serious respect. You showed up for me and you showed up for the fans, Orton told him. That meant a lot to me.
While Hendrys WrestleMania moment didnt end with his hand raised, getting that nod of respect from a legend like Randy Orton made the night a win in a different way.
